Palm House Antics-Sunday 23rd March!

Palm House, Sefton Park, Liverpool Just a tiny post today as a reminder that I'll be at the Artisans in the Palm House event tomorrow, Sunday 23rd March at the Palm House, Sefton Park,  Liverpool. It's my first craft fair venture out Merseyside way and promises to be a lovely event packed full of interesting makers (craft/art/ food/drink) & activities. I'll be taking my new Spring / Easter-inspired creations including these new small woolidermy bunnies, 'Moomin' & 'Lotti', nests with crocheted eggs and needle felted bunny with carrot cake (cake handmade by the very talented Small Portions Miniature Food ). Also, my new needle felting kits (see pic). A full report to follow next week...
